Abstract

Introduction: The effect of halogenated drugs as cardioprotectors in cardiac surgery has been evaluated in several studies. However, the possibility that there is a protective role at renal level, triggered by their use, is currently under study. Aortic valve replacement and coronary revascularization are the most frequent surgeries in cardiac surgery. Our research evaluates the effect of desflurane compared to propofol in aortic valve replacement surgery at renal level; including its administration during extracorporeal circulation. Method: Quasi-experimental prospective study performed on 60 patients, divided into 2 groups according to the drug used in intraoperative aortic valve replacement surgery. In group 1 propofol was used as a hypnotic during surgery, in group 2 desflurane was used. Differences in kidney damage measured through the urinary NGAL marker were evaluated. Other markers of renal function and myocardial damage and the need for inotropic support during the first 48 hours were also measured. Results: There were significant variations in the values ​​of urinary NGAL and creatinine regarding to basal values ​​in the propofol group, but not in the desflurane group, in which there were no differences in the hemodynamic parameters and myocardial damage. Conclusion: the use of desflurane during aortic valve replacement surgery produced better renal preservation than propofol.
